Previously on Dragon Ball Tuffle Quest: you and your friends arrived in Penguin Village, met the uncannily strong robot girl Arale, defeated the villainous Mercenary Tao, and split up to secure the final two Dragon Balls. After lifting the curse from King Gurumes, you have but one Dragon Ball left before you can restore Penny's land and remove the cursed Blood Rubies from it!

Both you and Goku exit King Gurumes' castle, Suno and Penny thanking you for your help and the restored man himself joining in, saying that he'll have his people cease their search. It's quite dark out, and you haven't heard anything from Acer or Chi-chi yet. You're starting to wonder if something is up, or if they've already gotten the Dragon Ball are on a little date together. Heeheehee.

"Maple, why are you smiling like that?" Goku questions. Huh, you didn't seem to notice but you do have a rather dorky grin across your face.

"Oh, noooo reason~" you say as you skip around him. "Well, we have one Dragon Ball left, and brobro and Chi-chi are after it."

"What do you think we should do, Maple?" Goku places his hands behind his head.

It's a fair question. You could check in on your brother and Chi-chi, or you could regroup back at Kame House and wait for them to contact first, or you could do something else, maybe chat with Goku for a little while? It's getting a bit late, and you're fairly tired.

>>40780288You give a yawn. You feel like you've been going at nearly full-speed since this adventure started. It's probably best to get some rest. Besides, your brother both has his Scouter and is a telepath, if something were wrong he wouldn't be so quiet about this. "Let's head back to Kame House, we need some rest."

Goku yawns as well. "Yaah... yeah, probably a good idea, Maple." Both of you fly off, going to Kame House at a leisurely pace at first. Goku decides to change things up a bit "Say Maple, wanna race there?"

You smirk at him. "Someone is confident. You think you can outfly me? Who was the one who taught you how to do it?"

"Heehee, won't know unless we try!" he says as he starts bolting in the direction of Kame House, you following after quickly. As the two of you head off, you notice that Goku really has gotten better at this, you're gonna have to keep it up if you want to beat 'em again in the next Tournament. Actually...

"Hey Goku, what do you wanna do some day?" you ask him. "Like, is there something you've been kinda looking forward to becoming?"

"I dunno, I just wanna get stronger! And stop bad guys that hurt people, too." he says with a wide smile. Heh, typical Goku.

As you arrive at Kame House, you're greeted by Bulma, Krillin, and Launch, in her calm personality, and explain what you've been up to. Launch pats you on the head and praises you for offering to help just out like that. Inside, you see Yamcha resting on the couch, his leg raised and wrapped tight. Roshi smiles at you, while the head of the Pirate Robot... welcomes? you with a "YARR."

>>40780566You look to Yamcha first. "How bad was it? Are you healing OK?"

"Agh... y-yeah, it hurts, but I'll live." he replies, then looks at Master Roshi. "Apparently, that little stunt against Tao impressed your teacher."

"I've decided to take Yamcha on as a pupil." Roshi says with a smile. "He and Launch both will be training under me, especially since your little group of friends have all certainly passed my training. There's nothing much else I can teach you kids." He sits down, a look of pride on his face as he looks at you, Goku, and Krillin.

"What about Tao, anyway? What'd you do to him? I mean, he seemed dangerous..."

"I let his jerk brother come pick up the man. Seems like you hurt his pride far worse than any arrest could have. Crane Hermit was so mad when he learned that my students beat him so easily!" the old man says with a laugh.

"But, what if he comes after any of you again?" Bulma asks with concern.

"I'll beat him next time. For sure." Yamcha gives, a determined look on his face.

You finally turn to Launch. "How've things been with you? Or, er, you two?"

>A. Ask Launch if she thinks learning telepathy will help her communicate with, er, herself>B. Ask Roshi if he's sure if that was the best decision>C. Ask Bulma about the Pirate Robot, if she's learned anything from it>D. Ask Krillin something (write in)>E. Something else?

>>40780764"Say, Launch," you start, the woman sneezing and turning blonde again, but apparently aware of what you started. "Uh, brobro and I were gonna teach Yamcha this as well, but... think that you'd be helpful if you learned how to communicate telepathically? I mean, you might be able to talk with... er, yourself, easier."

"Hrmn. If you think it'll help..." Launch rubs her chin. "I can share with ya' something, but, ah... would kind of like to keep it a secret." she then rubs the back of her neck, looking away. "That enough for your 'Equivalent Exchange' thingy?"

You nod, happy that she remembered that. You then turn to Bulma, the head of the Pirate Robot hopping around the floor. "So, you learn anything useful from it?"

"Less than I'd have liked." the purple-haired young woman frowns. "I can kind of understand its makeup, but it's almost like I'm looking at a lost branch of technology. Very little modern technology is like it." She then turns to the robot head, concern on her face. "I was able to find out that they're extremely resistant to electromagnetic pulses, for some reason... and the head has data for emitting their own."

"Electrowhata?" Goku and Krillin ask simultaneously.

"Electromagnetic pulse." you repeat. Better find how to most simply explain it for them. "It's... think of it like an invisible attack that hurts electronics. TVs, cars, planes, and robots. It makes them stop working." You then turn to Bulma, with her now holding the head of the Pirate Robot.

>A. Ask if she can speculate on why that is>B. Speculate on your own, then try and brainstorm with her (write in)>C. Something else?

>>40781096>>B. Speculate on your own, then try and brainstorm with her (write in)

Well, it was a time of war, so it would not be surprising if it had lost tech. EMP may of meant that a LOT of radiation type weapons were used. Even more dangerous ones. Its power may of been related too. It has been able to restart after a few hundred years. The cave is still ther too, we can investigaate stuff there later too.

Earths tech has been kinda weird, wonder if it relates to forgetting what happened, including the war stuff.

>>40781096That's... a conundrum. You wonder if there might be something horrible related to that. Like if the things were designed to survive atomic weapons. It might explain their resilience. Or maybe such weapons were used on that King Piccolo character, and it was made as a safety feature. It WAS a time of war, after all. Scary thought, if the ancient Pirates themselves had a nuclear arsenal... but your Scouter didn't pick up anything like that. Strange... wait, why would the robots be able to emit their own EMPs? That... you telepathically share what you're thinking with Bulma. She's not quite sure why that other feature is there either.

"I'm kinda stumped." you shrug. "Just what secrets do you hold, you crazy bucket of bolts?"

"TIME FOR SOME PIRACY!" it shouts. Gods, you kind of wish this thing had a mute button. Well, perhaps it does, but that's a rather permanent one.

"Was it a weapon of war, survival, both?" Bulma turns it in her hands.

"Maybe a tool of the trade as well?" Launch adds, to all of your surprise. "Well, if it's supposed to knock out electronics and stuff, and if they're able to resist it, maybe the Pirates used it to do what Pirates do. Easier to rob from a helpless group."

"That makes sense... but not a pleasant thought. I mean they were criminals, after all, but... in a time of crisis like that..." you frown.

"Could always look back in that cave? I mean it's still there, right?" Launch asks. You, Bulma, and Yamcha all shudder. Eventually you get some rest, the boys sleeping downstairs while the girls go up. When morning breaks, you're starting to get worried that your brother hasn't tried to contact you.

>>40781398You first check on your Scouter. Your brother doesn't give a response, but both he and Chi-chi are still in the direction of the last Dragon Ball. They're not in trouble, you think. Wait a sec... his Power Level is up to 659. Chi-chi's is up to 479. What the hell? Well, time to put the telepathy skills to use...

'WOULD YOU STOP RUNNING YOU STUPID CAT?!'

What. 'Brobro what's the holdup?'

'Cat person named Korin has the Dragon Ball, but he won't give it over! Took my Scouter, and now he's been playing keep away all night!'

'It's morning.'

'YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT?!'

'Also how did you get stronger than me?' you communicate with a bit of annoyance.

'I... wait, huh? I am?'

Well. That's new. You tell Goku and Krillin what's going on, Master Roshi surprised at the mention of the name Korin.

"I once climbed that tower to try and receive the Sacred Water, a drink said to raise your strength tremendously." He looks down. "It took me three years."

"THREE YEARS?!" everyone else shouts.

>A. Rush in that direction, take whoever wants to come>B. Let brobro and Chi-chi handle this, they can do it>C. Something else?

>>40781640"Well boys, I'm going. Who wants to come along?" you ask. Goku and Krillin both nod at you, everyone else saying they'll stay. The three of you blitz in the direction of the Dragon Ball, and finally spot a tower in the distance. You try to fly towards it... and feel like you slam into a wall in the middle of the air, all three of you crashing to the ground. You pick yourselves up at the base of the tower, a tall man with tan skin who looks like he's from around these parts, with a little boy on his shoulder who seems to be as small as you are, maybe smaller.

"More flying children. How strange. I am known as Bora, keeper of this land. Are you with the other two from last night?" he asks.

"The blonde one was my brother, Acer, and the girl was our friend Chi-chi. Um... why did we crash into the ground?" you ask, a little embarrassed.

"Korin appears to want to test you. Your brother and friend have already climbed up there." the tall man points upwards. The little boy hops off his shoulder and looks at you all.

"I am Upa. You all seem nice, but why are you here?" he asks

"We're trying to help some friends and get back my grandpa's Dragon Ball." Goku informs him.

>>40781925You shake your head at Krillin. Goku just seems confused. Well... before you get down to business, you take a look at that "wall" again. You attempt to detect any sort of magical curse, or something to it, but... it's almost like it isn't even there. How strange. Perhaps something to ask the cat man. You then turn to your friends. "Race you two to the top!"

"OKAY!" Goku and Krillin shout. Bora chuckles to himself as you three start your climb. You climb, and climb and climb and climb. It seems like the thing goes on forever, but after about an hour all three of you make it to the top. Heading inside, you spot your brother and Chi-chi laying on the ground, exhausted.

"Looks like I have more company." a deep, low voice comments, walking down the stairs to the floor you all are on. It... is indeed a cat, with white fur and a staff. Your Scouter's only giving you a reading of... 8? What? "Had a feeling you'd be coming."

"Excuse me sir, are you Korin?" Goku asks, wagging his tail. The cat man nods. "Then... do you have the last Dragon Ball?"

Korin shows you all just that. With four stars on it. "This ol' thing?"

"Grandpa's ball!" Goku shouts, overjoyed. "Can we have it, please?"

"Yes."

>A. ...what's the catch?>B. Walk over and try to take it>C. Ask him about the wall>D. Something else?

"Well, okay." Goku attempts to walk over and do such, with the cat man knocking him away and into the wall. Your Scouter... gives you an overflow error as it jumps up from 8 to what seemed to be more than a hundred times that. Gulp. "Oww... what'd you do that for?!"

"You didn't get it." Korin tells him. "Try again."

"So, about that wall?" you try and recalibrate your Scouter, it giving you the same reading of 8 once it's back to normal. "The one you made to stop us from just flying in here?"

"I didn't make it." he says as he walks over to a pot, grabbing two... little green beans out of it, and handing them to Acer and Chi-chi. Instantly they seem to be back to normal.

"W-what was that?" Acer asks, surprised at how he feels now.

"Senzu Beans. Fill you up for 10 days, and restore any recent injuries."

An idea pops into your head.

>A. Ask if you can take a couple away from here, your friend needs one>B. Try to take the Dragon Ball yourself>C. Something else?

>>40782665"Mister Korin, sir, can we please have a couple of those? A friend of ours could use it." The cat man promptly tosses you two.

"Yeah yeah, I know about what happened. Your brother mentioned it, Maple." You look at brobro, then the cat man. "That is your name, right?"

"I'll take it back to him, sis. Be careful, he's trickier than he looks." your brother mentions, then hops down the entry place. You, Goku, Krillin, and Chi-chi all take stances around Korin.

"Four on one, huh? You think that'll be enough?" he says smugly.

"Try to follow me, I've been trying to read his movements." Chi-chi mentions. Goku, her, and Krillin all try to dash at him, leaving a few afterimages behind. Before you can join in the fray, you notice that he himself has left an afterimage, Goku and Chi-chi crashing into each other while Krillin hits a wall. You try to follow him, but the Korin you think you see turns out to be ANOTHER afterimage. Your Scouter has another error.

"Not good enough. And stop relying on this thing, it won't help you here." he immediately grabs the Scouter off your face. "Come on now, I didn't get a reputation for being the 'god of martial arts' for nothing. Tricks like that won't help."

>>40783260You leap at the cat man, trying to grab both the Dragon Ball and your Scouter back. "'God of Martial Arts' huh? And how'd you get that title?"

He dodges you almost effortlessly. "You live a few centuries as a cat, pick up a few tricks, and suddenly folks start calling you things, giving you funny titles and such. I'll be honest, kid, your presence has spooked some powerful folks up there." he motions up with his staff. "They wanted to make sure I was a proper challenge to you all."

"Flattered!" you shout, attempting to grab for the Dragon Ball again only for Korin to bat your hand away with his tail. Goku tries to lunge at him, only for him to dodge the monkey boy and grab him by the tail, flinging the now limp Goku at Krillin. Chi-chi and you try at it again, only for him to leave an afterimage at the last second, with the two of you crashing into each other face-first. Korin chuckles.

This series of events continue for the rest of the day, until all of you are exhausted to the point of near-collapse. "All right, nice try kids, but I think you all need some rest. Especially you, little miss." Korin points at Chi-chi.

We've seen some weird stuff on earth, since you lived so long, you aware of any other major events that shaped it to be so unusual? And such a weird miss-mash of stuff? Demons, vampires, undead, robots, witches, dragon balls, ect.

Send him a telepathic message that you ran into some terrible recordings of the Great Demon King Piccolo.

"Haa... ha... s-so is that a literal 'up there' or figurative? What kind of powerful people are you talking about?" you ask him, Goku and Krillin sitting up. Chi-chi just lays down next to you, clearly more exhausted than everyone else here, in spite of the Senzu Bean earlier.

"Good question. Yes." Korin says with a bit of a smirk. "Let's just say that the watchful eyes of this world are paying attention to you and your friends."

You wait a few minutes, and then sit yourself up as well. "We've seen some weird stuff around our travels, since you lived so long, you aware of any other major events that shaped it to be so unusual? And such a weird miss-mash of stuff? Demons, vampires, undead, robots, witches, Dragon Balls, etc. etc."

"You see all sorts of crazy things when you get to be my age. None were quite as devastating as..." you send him a telepathic message. You realize that his mind is... strange, all you can really read back is the image of a fish, but he gets you clear. "...King Piccolo."

The other Turtle School students turn their heads to him. You and he have a silent stare. Not much needs to really be said about that. In order to not worry your friends, you switch conversation topics. "How did you keep making my Scouter flip out? It registers you as only barely stronger than the average person."

"Haha! That little device is imprecise. It only looks at what the person's letting out, someone could easily fool it, if they knew how." he comments, placing your Scouter down. "Maybe that'll be a trick you pick up here."

"Caught on faster than your teacher, it seems. And I was rather blunt with him. Hah!" Korin starts laughing out loud.

"Wuh? But why?" Goku tilts his head.

"Because you need it. If you can't even get this Dragon Ball, what'll you be able to do when someone as strong as I am, or even stronger, comes knocking?" He starts scratching his ear and licking his paw. It's... a fair point.

"Well..." you stand up and bow. "Then I guess I can thank you, Master Korin. Won't put this opportunity to waste."

All your friends say the same, bowing as well. Your brother arrives the next morning, telling you that Yamcha has fully healed, and Bulma looked into one of the Senzu beans you got. However, this day seems to be more of the same. None of you can match up to Korin's speed, even with all of you trying at once. And yet... you all also seem to become more aware of each other, where your positions are, how much effort and energy you're putting out. Even Korin's movements seem to be slightly easier to read, though you're still a couple steps behind. Even with a bit of foresight, all it tells you is how you're going to fail. In spite of all this, the cat man is fairly impressed.

"I must say, a year ago you all would have easily handled me at the level you're at now, but I guess that extra training I got really helped." he says after you exhaust yourselves again. "I guess that's enough for the day, take five, kids."

"We'll never get the Dragon Ball with Whiskers the Wonder Cat outpacing us at every turn..." Acer grumbles.

>>40784825"Master Korin, who on Earth is good enough to train YOU? I thought you were the 'god of Martial Arts?'" you ask Korin.

"Heh, titles aren't everything, 'World Champ.'" he responds, licking his paw again. "Rather... they aren't static things. They're things you have to work towards, and keep working towards. Kings and Queens can become commoners, commoners can become monarchs and other rulers. Just like Guardian of this planet, and his assistant, reminded me very well."

Everyone looks at him in surprise, but... it makes sense, thinking about it. "So they wanted you to be able to help us... well, guess we'll have to thank them, if we ever meet them." Acer comments.

"Are... they worried about something? Is there something big on the horizon?" you inquire. Korin stares at you and your brother. He sighs.

"Yes. More than one thing, both hopefully in the long term..." He seems like he doesn't want to say it, but knows it's something you need to hear. "The prick you call 'ghost dad' will come for you two, one day in the future."

You and your brother look at each other. You figured this was a possibility. Let's just hope it's far, far away. As your friends ask about that, you let them know about how your teacher gave you a final warning that he's no longer a good person, not delving into things deeper. Yet... this seems to harden their resolve. The following day of Korin's training goes by much, much better than before. You can... sense where all your friends are, and even more, where Korin is. Not telepathically, but... it's hard to describe, almost as if you have a Scouter inside you. Not quite accurate, no numbers, but... there's a gut feeling to it. By noon, all of you have formulated a good plan, and finally, after much struggle, Goku gets his grandpa's Dragon Ball, while you and Acer get your Scouters back.

Does higher level clothesbeam give access to a wider variety of materials or does it just increase the quality and durability of the one we have as well as making the clothing we make look better?If you're winging it you dont have to give a too in depth of an answer.Also do we still have that giant pink ribbon we stole from the random demon?

Clothes beam is a magical technique. So while it may not be useful in itself later on even if we master it, the underlying principle in conjuring something might come in handy when learning other similar spells. One day, Maple might be able to conjure a block of Katchin and such like the Supreme Kai can.

>>40786097You did manage to beat him one-on-one even while being a bit weaker. When you see these numbers, kind of think of them a bit more like total EXP. It may seem large, but unless you have the skills to back them up they might not be as great as they seem. Chi-chi, right now, could defeat Raditz if she tried hard enough.

>>40786097Honestly I'm a bit worried. We've broken a thousand but that's peanuts for what's to come. Unless we meta game hard and kill Goku so he can go learn the Kaioken I'm not sure how anyone will keep up.

>>40785354Slipping on your Scouter, the first thing you notice is just HOW strong you all have become. It wasn't apparent before since it felt more... natural, but... all of you except Chi-chi have hit over 1000. Goku is almost as strong as your teacher was. What's more, you are stronger than that 1030 Power Level you saw when you first came to Earth. You finally turn to Korin, who smiles at you and starts to glow slightly.

Your jaw drops.

Korin's Power Level is 2000.

The cat man scratches his ear. "Surprised? Heh, they were too. I wasn't the only one that benefitted from their training, of course." Korin then lowers his Power Level back to 8. "And now, I think you can do this just as well. Try to... calm your body, keep all your energy internalized. You'll feel it soon enough."

All of you do as Korin instructs, and you all manage it almost as well. It's almost like keeping a lock in your mind, holding all your strength in there. The lowest you all manage to lower yourselves is 15, but that's still quite something. "This is... amazing..." Chi-chi comments.

Korin tosses each of you a Senzu Bean. "Good luck, kids." All of you rush over and hug him, Chi-chi scratching behind one of his ears and you behind another. "Aww stop, stop, you're embarrassing me."

All five of you stand up. "Thank you, Master Korin." The five of you wave goodbye, all seven Dragon Balls in your possession, and make it to King Gurumes' castle. You see Penny, Suno, the restored King himself, and his guards waiting outside, another man standing by Penny. A soft glow and low hum seem to come from the Dragon Balls.

>A. Who wants to do the honors?>B. Call the Eternal Dragon yourself>C. Something else?

>>40786390"Who wants to do the honors? Penny?" you turn to the other redhead. "I mean, you were the one who wanted it."

The other redhead approaches you, tears in her eyes. "Th-thank you, Maple..." She quickly hugs you, and then all your friends. "Thank you all, for everything you've done for us." She approaches the Dragon Balls, Goku carefully watching the Four-Star Ball. "E-Eternal Dragon, please, arise and grant our wish!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym7yjhulJf8

A vibrant flash comes from the Dragon Balls, and out springs forth the Dragon itself. It seems to almost fill the darkening skies... you may have caught a glimpse of it last year, but this... this is astounding. You never got such a clear view of the being, it's awe-inspiring.

"I AM SHENRON, THE ETERNAL DRAGON. SPEAK YOUR WISH, SO THAT I MAY RETURN TO MY SLUMBER."

Penny seems to shrink back a bit at the creature's booming voice, but King Gurumes turns to her and nods approvingly. She takes a deep breath. "Sh-Shenron, please, I wish for you to restore this kingdom to its former beauty, and remove the cursed Blood Rubies from it so that they may never bother anyone ever again!"

"YOUR WISH SHALL BE GRANTED." Shenron's booming voice echoes through the area. You start to see greenery return to the land, the lake refilling with clear, clean water... and the blood-red stones all floating up out of the land. They rocket into space, hopefully never to be seen from again. "IT IS DONE. FAREWELL." Shenron glows again, then disappears in a flash, the Dragon Balls floating into the air. Right as they're about to fly off, Goku jumps up and catches the Four-Star Dragon Ball, presenting it to you happily as it turns to stone. You and your friends all start to cheer at a job well done, and with his grandpa's Dragon Ball in his possession, you feel a bit relieved.

>>40786867All of you and your friends head off to Kame House, waving goodbye to Penny, Suno, and everyone else there. Krillin and Chi-chi are overjoyed, Goku smiles at his Dragon Ball sweetly, and Acer is doing little spins in the air. In less than a week, you've stopped Pilaf's ambitions, helped Gurumes learn his lesson, met new friends and faced new foes, and got a really good deal on 3 used camels. It's been an amazing, wonderful time. As all of you arrive, Roshi looks at your group proudly.

"Maple, Goku, you two have already more than earned this title, but I think that it bears repeating: you two truly are Turtle School Masters." he says with a tear rolling down his cheek, then looks at the other three. "But you are not alone there. Acer, Krillin, Chi-chi, I declare the three of you Turtle School Masters as well. I am ever so proud of what you have become."

All of you bow, then give a simultaneous "Thank you, Master Roshi." in return.

"I guess I have my work cut out for me. I'll train my hardest for the next Tournament in three years, and I hope to see you all there!" Yamcha says as he gives each of you a little fist bump.

"Heh, don't forget about me." the blonde Launch mentions, cracking her knuckles. "You kids better be there, or I'll come draggin' you all to make sure of it!"

You smile. "It's a promise."

>DRAGON BALL TUFFLE QUEST #15 END>Twitter account is @KatoQm, will have status updates there>Got some questions for the QM? Characters? Suggestions? Throw them at ask.fm/QMKato and I'll try to answer them as best I can

Thanks for playing, everyone! I'll be here like usual, so feel free to throw your questions here as well. Did ya'll have fun today?

>>40787636King Kai has taken notice of the Earth, and might be meeting with some of its deceased fighters to see how things have been.

>>40787677The [o] dot means you can expend one decently powerful energy attack per dot, before needing to rest and recover. So one Geist Magnum, one Kamehameha, one Ki Jan Ken, one Will 'O Wisp, etc. For stamina, it's how many straining actions you can take in combat before needing to rest, like abusing the afterimage technique. There are also other skills that depend on stamina, you might see them soon-ish.

The [+] represents how strong the respective attack is, either melee or energy. Influences the DC quite a bit when you're facing an opponent of similar skill level, and how hard you hit when you clear it.

>>40787704Average Tuffles have marginally better potential than the average human. Planet's gravity influenced their height. Average Tuffle's PL was only around 25 - 50 or so, few notable ones broke 100.

Oh, also, since you've got enough Ki for it now, you have the potential for developing a new Ultimate move, draining a large amount of Ki but also doing massive damage if you pass the DC. Just throwing that out there.

>>40788228Melee and Ki? That's not a good idea. In layman's terms, Ki powers Energy, and Stamina powers Melee. So we should either choose Ki/Energy, or Stamina/Melee. Ki/Energy is the better choice as they're already higher than Stamina/Melee and we have more moves revolving around them

>>40788513He made Frieza go all the way to his final form>>40788496>>40788523Most of the power came from the fusion with Nail, Namekian fusion increases the total power of the two involves, that's why it's forbidden

>>40788897Well, I don't want to disagree, but this says otherwise. Of course, shitty wiki, so who knows.

>Even just upon being born Piccolo was a great fighter, as he had access to all of King Piccolo's memories and techiques.[5] His power in early Dragon Ball Z is 322, and without his weighted clothing it is 408. A year later, during the battle against the Saiyans, his held back power level is 1,400 (1,220 in the manga) and 3,500 while fighting Nappa. According to Dragon Ball Z: The Anime Adventure Game, his power is 800,000 after training with King Kai and it is 1,200,000 after he had fused with Nail (which is around Second Form Frieza's power level of about 1,000,000), it also states that his power is 2,000,000 during the Garlic Jr. Saga. Turles' reads Piccolo's power level at 18,000 in The Tree of Might.

>In Daizenshuu 7, Piccolo's biography states that after fusing with Nail, their combined power level is "Over 1,000,000" and is enough to defeat Frieza's 2nd form (who stated in both manga & anime to be over 1 million himself).

Well, A lot of the video game sources are out there, then again a lot of power levels were made up by game designers, magazine editors and guide book writers. Even promo material from the movies almost never has the authors work from it.

That is one of the reason so many power levels listed are all over the place.

The truest source is always the manga, but he rarely used power levels due to how crappy they turned out to be.

>>40790177More or less, yes. Jaco however is doing some work around the galaxy, and the Galactic Patrol are slightly more aware of what's going on down there. He kind of wants to make sure that things are hush-hush about Tuffle survivors, at least until they have some way of helping you out in an actually useful manner.

Jaco also fought Onio, who was trying to acquire one of the Black Star Dragon Balls. Thankfully nobody knows nor cares about Onio enough to pursue what he's up to.

>>40790698>Probably some other Namekian, like someone on Lord Slugs power level.

>In the video game Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors, when Piccolo unifies with King Piccolo as the full Nameless Namek and thus gains his full potential, his power skyrockets to become so high that Piccolo states a fight against the fat Majin Buu would be an "easy win", and Super Buu states that even with weighted clothing on, Piccolo is stronger than he is.

If you trust vidya, that is WAY past Slug's level.

Plus, Piccolo after fusing with Kami is massively more powerful than Slug, as well, IIRC.

>>40790658>>40790698>>40790699This is correct. Katas, the genius Namek and father of the person who would become King Piccolo and Kami, sent his son off Namek via spaceship. The Black Star Dragon Balls are not an invention of a good Namekian, they're objects constructed by one who either has no idea what they're doing, or complete idea what they're doing and going through with it anyway.

Jaco realizes the danger that you two might be in if word gets out, and also wants to keep the potential for a lawsuit against the PTO for stealing your people's technology becomes a thing.

The Nameless Namekian was the one who split to form Kami and King Piccolo. Kami was the good side, King Piccolo was everything evil in him.

It's not clear how powerful he was.

In one DBZ game where a Piccolo-focused story was featured, Piccolo (post-android saga) had to go to hell and defeat his father King Piccolo so he could get more power via fusing with him. This returned the Nameless Namekian to his complete state, since the Piccolo/Kami fusion was in actuality Piccolo Jr./Kami fused together. With the Nameless Namekian complete, he was able to fight evenly with Super Buu, but wasn't able to destroy him. So he just Mafuuba'd his ass and kept him in a safe place.

>>40787627I'm probably too late for my vote to count, but I'm thinking a dot of Energy, a dot of Ki, and a dot of HP.The idea is that, rather than spread ourselves out evenly between being punchy and being blasty, we pick one to specialise in.

1. Learn the cutting Ki move that Chi-chi uses. Trade her Ki Jan Ken for it.2. Investigate Crane school. Encounter Mercenary Tao after training for 4 days, Shen, Tien, Chiaotzu. Trade Phantom Shotgun to someone for Dodon Ray.2b. Screw with Dodon ray, Chichi's Crescent Cutter, and the Phantom Shotgun to get a quickly fired close ranged cutting attack.3. Investigate the "higher ups" Korin mentioned. Learn how the barrier works, and see if we can replicate it or create some barriers of our own.4. Hang around with Bulma, get some FUKKENSCIENCE done. Don't know exactly how. Just fukken science. Like, can we store extra Ki in a capsule somehow and then use it as either a Ki grenade or a mana potion? Probably not but worth trying.5. Explore world for OC Donut Steels for more teaching of magic.5b. Read more of those magic books we got from the vampire and demon's place. Might be able to understand it better now that we've got some practice in.6. Make an ultimate attack.I'd recommend a move where Maple infuses herself with energy as she flies/charges forward. Getting faster, but less manoeverable, as the energy charges up - before colliding with an enemy, and releasing the energy in a huge burst. Sort of like being at the epicenter of a moving Kamehameha wave.Would be good for those inevitable "Oh shit! An enemy is on the other side of the city / planet / galaxy / DM fiat and you GOTTA GO FAST to reach them before all your friends die" situations. Also good for escape too, since you can also GOTTA GO FAST away from a shitty situation.Carries with it the downsides - you're being carried along with a massive energy wave, so you get less manoeverable the stronger it gets.If you don't have a lot of distance to cover before hitting the target, you won't be able to charge the attack very well.And of course pointblank energy waves damage you half as hard as they damage the target.

>>40792002Crane School isn't as static as Roshi's, so it will be a bit harder to find them. At the same time, be wary of strange people selling their services as "monster hunters."

There's also Yamcha's Spirit Ball technique, or something like it. Perhaps something closer to Funnels that you develop on your own?

An ultimate move would be something like the Super Kamehameha Goku invents by the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, or the Special Beam Cannon. Things like that.

>>40792027>>40792156>>40792170I'm still looking at things I can do with her. Hopefully it's something interesting enough to warrant a little adventure all on its own. Perhaps something involving a different "Demon King."
